Why I chose NLS data

The intergenerational links between mother and their children make the NLSY79 and its child/young adult supplement invaluable. Because the data set continues to follow all children of the women in the NLSY79, I have been able to examine how decisions that parents make affect their children, during childhood and now as they age into adulthood.

This site was created at the Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR) at The Ohio State University to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The NLS is a program of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CHRR has conducted the NLS since the program began in 1965, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau (from 1965 to 2003) and NORC at the University of Chicago (from 1978 to the present).
